Recently, I’ve been considering beach vacation destinations. I love the water. Having only a short time frame, I was searching for 5 day vacation trips and stumbled upon a great little travel website… www.5daytrips.com.

I’ve made a bucket list of all my beach vacation destinations that are pretty easy for my family to get to from the US. There are 10 of them in all, but I know some of you could add some really great suggestions to hang out at.

My picks for a fun and fantastic beach vacation destination-

Trunk Bay, St. John- Trunk Bay in the U.S. Virgin Islands is high on my list because I’ve actually spent time there. I lived in St. Thomas for eight years and Trunk Bay was one of our favorite weekend  anchorages. beach vacation destinationsWith easy access by car or safari bus, you’ll find some of the most modern park facilities on St. John. By boat, you just navigate around the north eastern coast and follow the coast around Cruz Bay, past Caneel Bay and then into Trunk Bay. There are mooring balls on a 1st come basis.
